That is pretty horrendous.
Yeah I would say the car is priority -1.

All the best mate. Fingers crossed something comes up

Had no idea!
It's horrendous out there isn't it. I was made redundant last August after 29 years.

So sorry to hear this Jon, hope things improve for you very soon.

Sorry to hear this guys, hope there is a silver lining coming along soon.

Thanks all - I'm considering going in to teach physics... the only question I have is whether my character is suitable for trying to teach kids who may not want to be there!

That and I have no idea how financially teachers get by...

Having been "out of work", retired for over 15 years maybe I'm not the person to comment on this. But I was  in and out of work, after 20 years in one case and can empathise with that feeling.
I do believe  it is very important , no matter how difficult, to maintain a positive approach with a prospective new employee.
I guess you have exhausted further opportunities in your normal career and that is why you are considering teaching.
What I am aware  of with teaching in schools is that there are (at least) two pay grades.
A qualified teacher is one that has subject qualifications and also a teaching qualification.
An un qualified teacher is one that has subject qualifications but no teaching qualification.
The former is on a higher pay grade than the latter.

I thought you were more Chemistry than physics.
